Stdents create symmetrical designs by cutting folded paper in this cross-curricular lesson for the Math and Art classsroom. The lesson is adaptable for any grade or ability level.

Kindergarteners arrange manipulatives or everyday objects in groups of one through five. They identify groups seen in pictures of nature and compare same numbers of different objects.

Young scholars add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson, students analyze integers using hands on manipulative. They solve problems of addition and subtractions using their signs correctly. They play a game of cards to reinforce...

Young scholars explore the world of art and culture, including the works of M.C. Escher. They identify and create original tessellations. Students use a wealth of interactive multimedia applications. They explore the artistic...

On this area and perimeter activity, designers use a diagram of a Koi pool with its surrounding walkway surrounding and the appropriate mathematical formulas to solve a set of four word problems. An answer key follows the activity.

Seventh graders create 3 original tessellation using polygons. They slide, turn, rotate and glide their designs on the computer. They print their tessellation on a T-shirt and teach the 6th graders about tessellations.

Tenth graders investigate the early history of geometry. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate translations, rotations, and reflections. They also solve problems with line of symmetry and rotational symmetry while reviewing...

Fifth graders use formal geometric language to describe polygons (and other shapes) that will tessellate the plane and those that will not. Students make generalizations about the characteristics of a polygon (or other shape) that will...

Students construct a balloon-powered rocket car from a Styrofoam tray, pins, tape, and a flexible straw, and test it along a measured track on the floor. They experiment with ways of increasing the distance the rocket car travels.

Second graders complete an inquiry activity to determine how many combinations they can make using cut-outs of tops and bottoms. In this combinations and organized lists table, 2nd graders work with three colored cut-outs of tops and...

In this perimeter and area of complex figures practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Students investigate acoustical ceilings.  In this acoustical ceilings lesson plan, students construct a blueprint for an acoustical ceiling.  Students use area and perimeter of rectangles to construct their blueprint. ...

For this problem solving strategy worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer to help solve a problem. Students complete 4 sections: understand, plan, solve and look back. Houghton Mifflin text referenced.

Students explore the Cartesian coordinate plane and plot points on the graph. They interpret coordinates for a point from the graph and give the ratio of rise over run for slope.

Seventh graders visualize and identify geometric shapes after applying transformations on a coordinate plane. In this tangrams instructional activity, 7th graders construct a set of tangrams and then answer extension questions related to...

Young scholars calculate the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students explore polygons based in their shape and number of sides. They find the formula for the area and use each specific formula for each shape.

Seventh graders produce a tessellation of an original design developed using an equilateral triangle, where three unique symmetrical faces rotate throughout their creation.

Second graders draw a model using correctly formed geometric shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, 2nd graders notice geometric shapes in the world around them and accurately draw these shapes.

In this math literacy worksheet, 4th graders solve the five problems to review basic skills for the fourth grade focusing on the concepts of basic geometry and number sense.

In this geography worksheet, students read an excerpt about the Etruscans who settled in an Italian city recently discovered. They respond to four questions about the excerpt that identify why the Etruscan people were ahead of their time...

In this multiplication arrays worksheet, students analyze 5 arrays and write both an addition and a multiplication sentence for each.

Third graders explore the history of tessellations; then use art and geometry to create an original tessellation.

Students use tangrams, student literature, and Websites to explore shapes.
